I look forward to seeing how this can support sustainable water management & inform modelling of reservoirs more broadly.

- The framework is designed to be replicable in other regions, supporting water-resource agencies with better data on how small waterbodies influence watershed hydrology in an era of increasing irrigation demand & climate stress.

- Effects varied spatially and temporally; smaller channels showed the largest percent changes, and the largest monthly impacts occurred from January to May when storage is highest and rainfall greatest.

- In our study watershed in eastern Arkansas, the presence of these reservoirs was associated with a 14–24 percent reduction in annual flow and a 43–60 percent reduction in peak flows.

Key points:

- We developed a novel framework combining a remote-sensing time-series algorithm and the SWAT+ hydrological model to estimate how hundreds of on-farm reservoirs alter surface water flows.

Likewise, I look forward to seeing your GFM results!

When will the outcomes of this opportunity be announced? Thank you
